Pineapples were ultra rare in early 1700s France.
So rare that the artist who designed these tapestries probably never saw one first hand. The first pineapple grown in France was given to the King of France himself (Louis XIV).
Wonder how that tasted…
Zoom in and explore this pineapple harvest here.
